Early life

James McDaniel Jr. was born in Washington, D.C.,[1] on March 25, 1958,[2] the son of physician James McDaniel Sr.[3] The junior McDaniel attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied veterinary medicine.[4] After taking his final exams, he decided to move to New York and become an actor, despite having no prior acting experience.[4] McDaniel enrolled in dance and voice lessons, and earned his first role in a Pepsi commercial.[5]

Career

McDaniel began acting on the stage.[1] He appeared in the original production of Six Degrees of Separation as Paul Poitier,[5] and received the Clarence Derwent Award for his performance.[6] McDaniel originated the role of Adam in Someone Who'll Watch Over Me, being the only American in the cast.[7] He received an Obie Award after performing in Before It Hits Home.[8]

Early roles on television include guest appearances on sitcom Kate & Allie and crime drama Gabriel's Fire.[9] He portrayed police officer Franklin Rose on the short-lived and poorly received series Cop Rock.[10][9] McDaniel had a minor role in the Woody Allen film Alice (1990), was a banker in Strictly Business (1991)[11] and portrayed Brother Earl in Spike Lee's Malcolm X (1992).[9]

McDaniel guest starred as a cop on Hill Street Blues, created by Steven Bochco.[5] Thereafter, he appeared often in productions with Bochco's involvement, including L.A. Law and Civil Wars.[5] He played Lt. Arthur Fancy on NYPD Blue for eight seasons, between 1993 and 2001.[1] The series attracted some criticism regarding McDaniel being underutilized during his time on the show.[12][13] McDaniel himself alluded to this, claiming to be "the highest paid extra on television."[14] He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 1996 for his work on the series.[15] He also received three consecutive NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

He portrayed the role of Sgt. Jesse Longford in crime drama Detroit 1-8-7.[16] McDaniel appeared as an investigator in The Following[17] and was Ezra Mills, Abbie's father, in Sleepy Hollow.[18] McDaniel made a guest appearance as a jazz trumpeter in NCIS: New Orleans.[19] McDaniel appeared in Tamara Tunie's See You in September (2010)[20] and in the Jordana Spiro film Night Comes On (2018).[21]

McDaniel has also appeared extensively in television films, namely Silencing Mary (1996), Unforgivable (1996),[22] and Out of Time (2000), the latter in a rare role as the main character.[23] He portrayed Nat King Cole in Livin' for Love: The Natalie Cole Story (2000).[24] Natalie Cole personally handpicked McDaniel to play her father.[4]

Personal life

With his wife Hannelore, McDaniel has two children.[1]
